Glitchy, sentimental beats that feel like a digital diary. A blend of cloud rap textures and indie-pop melodies for late-night introspection.
Ryan Hemsworth creates music that occupies the soft, glowing space between a video game menu screen and a heartfelt text message sent too late at night. His sound is defined by a gentle, shimmering quality, where crisp electronic percussion meets lush, reverb-soaked melodies that feel both futuristic and deeply nostalgic. It is the sound of the internet generation finding genuine emotion within digital artifacts.
What truly sets him apart is his ability to curate a specific kind of 'sad-boy' electronic aesthetic without ever feeling heavy-handed. He uses high-pitched vocal chops, sparkling synths, and samples that sound like they were pulled from a forgotten RPG soundtrack to build immersive, miniature worlds. His production is light on its feet, often favoring a 'less is more' approach that leaves plenty of room for the listener's own thoughts to wander.
Start with 'Alone for the First Time' to hear his signature blend of guest vocalists and lonely, beautiful production. It perfectly captures the feeling of being connected to the whole world through a screen while sitting completely alone in a room. From there, explore 'Guilt Trips' for a more upbeat but equally sentimental take on club-influenced electronic music.
